To apply it or not to apply it. That was the question facing John Dorsey, general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, and the future of Dontari Poe. The defensive tackle was set to enter free agency at the young age of 26 with two Pro Bowls under his belt.

Unfortunately, the timing was imperfect, or at least it seemed that way. Eric Berry, the team’s star safety, was also ready to hit the open market.
